I know it wasn't rape-rape. I think it was something else, but I don't believe it was rape-rape.

"He pled guilty to having sex with a minor and he went to jail, and when they let him out he said 'You know what, this guy's going to give me 100 years in jail. I'm not staying'. And that's why he left.

So, when you talk about it, a little bit of reverence to the women out there who have had to make this horrible decision. And one of the reasons that, that we have had to make this decision is because so many women were found bleeding, dead, with hangers in their bodies because they were doing it themselves. The idea of this was to make it safe and clean. That was the reason the law came into effect. That was why it was done.

I took on this "back alley abortion myth" a little over a year ago: basically if a person dies in the course of murdering another, can we really get too worked up over it? Fatally stab somebody only to die when they take the knife and deal you a mortal blow with their dying breath and nobody bats an eye. Do it with a coathanger and suddenly I'm supposed to get all worked up? No thanks.

Somehow I think the concern over the legitimizing of sick sodomist relationships goes a little further than that...

Finally, inspiring the post title, Whoopi Goldberg on President Monkey:

I find it extraordinary as I listen to folks talk about the free-market system that they don’t recognize that the free-market system is truly broken and beyond repair so that we have to start all over again. I think Barack Obama sees this, and so I am very, very pleasantly surprised at his determination to fix something that is not of his making. As President Bush sails away into the sunset leaving us with a trillion-dollar debt, I think to myself, “I’m glad it’s Barack Obama, because at least he’s got a different way of looking at it.”

Different way of looking at it? Like a fifty-trillion-dollar debt?

So clearly you see the problem: once you start defending Obama or faggots, there's no limit to how low you can sink...even to defend raping 13 year old girls.
